LARGE BIFACE This picture shows three views of a large Maya culture biface. It's made of heavily patinated Colha chert and weighs 19.7 lbs. (8.9 kg). There is no evidence that it was ever used for cutting or digging. Some of the surface flake ridges are smoothed which might be the result of transportation wear or some other form of handling. This biface measures 32 1/2 inches (82.5cm) long, 5 7/8 inches
(15cm) wide and over 2 inches (5.1cm) thick. |
